Allardyce Blames Salah, Not Slot, for Liverpool Drought

Allardyce, on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, called Salah a "big baby" after the striker was withdrawn in the 77th minute with the score still goalless. He said Salah must "bite the bullet" and start scoring, instead of blaming Slot.

Slot's decision was backed by data: Salah had no shots, won no duels, 72% pass completion, no dribbles and was dribbled past twice. The substitution brought in Rio Ngumoha, who helped Liverpool secure the win, underscoring Slot's focus on accountability.
